Gardenia is an ideal hat for early spring days when the air is crisp, and the first blooms begin to sprout. This hat features a beautiful cable and lace pattern throughout. Ravello, a blend of cotton, merino wool, and recycled cashmere, has a slight halo that beautifully complements the stitch pattern.
